Once finished, it will dwarf the country’s landmark Christ The Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro which stands 124ft.

The outstretched arms of the new work measure 118ft from tip to tip.

Construction started in July 2019 and the chest will house a glass windowed viewing platform accessed by lifts.

The chest will house a glass windowed viewing platform reached by elevators.

It has a steel frame and when finished will contain over 17,600 cubic feet of concrete.

Sculpting the head said to weigh 40 tons, took about three months to complete.
